E ach year, NMFTA hosts the NM Fire & EMS Expo — an 8-day training extravaganza that blends fire and emergency medical services instruction for the ultimate benefit of area first responders. One of the more popular elements of the annual event has been the night burn scenarios where participants tackle flammable liquid and liquid propane gas fires in a controlled and supervised setting. Above: firefighters utilize a fog pattern

as they advance on a flammable liquids fire.

In addition to night burns, event attendees were also able to participate in nighttime extrication classes, EMS drills and more.. Those who took part in the night exercises said they enjoyed the training as it afforded them the chance to gain some valuable practice in a “real life”

setting.
